Really?

I was looking for photos for Josiah's school project and came across a family photo from the park, July '08. I was a bit blown away by it. Who is that woman? The second photo is more recent, October '09. I am a different person. I hit a new low on Saturday too. You too can make positive lifestyle changes.

Looking for photos of me w/the kiddos

Does anyone have any decent digital images of me with my kids (from Oct '08-Oct '09? I'm working on their album and so far I have three images of myself in it (two from Christmas treeing last year and one of me, my parents, and brothers from Scotty's wedding). It's kind of sad. Anyone out there have some or even one? Ashby? Ketahs? Krista? Scotty? Anyone?
